While enjoying a short sunny break in Marrakech there are many activities you can indulge in, from golf to trekking in the Atlas Mountains and shopping in the souks. But there are many other options for getting the most out of that precious weekend away.

At Les Borjs de la Kasbah, for example, in the Marrakech medina, one can join a cookery class on Moroccan cuisine, enjoy a series of spa treatments including the traditional hammam bath, or visit Marrakech and its surroundings with a series of excursions.

There is even a Romance package with champagne, flowers and more for that special occasion.

The big difference at Les Borjs, however, is that these themed activities are included – i.e. there is no charge at all beyond the cost of a room!

If you’re looking for an off-season holiday bargain Marrakech should certainly appear high on the shortlist of likely destinations. With its wealth of exciting, yet surprisingly inexpensive things to do, combined with the prospect of soaking up some winter sun while enjoying the facilities of a comfortably affordable four or five star hotel, you could say there is no need to look further than Morocco’s tourism capital.

Les Borjs de la Kasbah

Widely regarded as one of the best 4 star hotels in Marrakech, Les Borjs de la Kasbah currently offers rooms and suites at prices ranging between 750 dh (£55) for a single room in low season (December and January, Christmas/New Year excluded) to 1650 dh (£122) for a suite. These nightly rates include local taxes, airport welcome and transfer to the hotel as well as breakfast for one or two.

Bargain Breaks

In addition, this luxury boutique hotel also features regular special offers that are well worth looking out for, not least its ‘Bargain Breaks on a Theme’ deal (where a range of activity options is included in the room price at no extra charge) or the ’4 nights for the price of 3′ promotion.

Like most of the best spa hotels in Marrakech, Les Borjs de la Kasbah’s facility, the Arganier, offers exquisite hammam sessions (with or without full seaweed or volcanic clay body masks) followed by the traditional ‘gommage’ (a vigorous scrub down with black ‘beldi’ soap).

Gommage

Basically, a gommage involves the application of ‘beldi’ soap, made from black olives and eucalyptus leaves, to the damp skin. Some five minutes after the application the soap is then vigorously frothed and scraped off the body, together with layers of dead skin cells, with the help of a ‘kessa’, a glove made of crinkled, coarse fabric.

The Benefits

Rich in vitamin E and featuring both anti-microbial and moisturising properties, the black beldi soap serves to deep-cleanse the skin, removing toxins from the body and softening the skin in preparation for the exfoliating scrub with the kessa. Combining the cleansing, moisturising effect of the soap with the increase of lymph and blood circulation resulting from the exfoliation process, the gommage helps in treating problem/oily skin leaving it feeling soft and invigorated, the better to absorb subsequent skin care treatments.
